One young musician who truly stood out at Lollapalooza is the Icelandic-Chinese multi-instrumentalist and jazz singer, Laufey, who put on an exhibition.
When she wasn't wowing the crowd with her talents on any instrument she touched, she was winning them over with her adorable crooning while wearing a poofy pink outfit.
“As a musician, my goal is to bring jazz and classical music to my generation through a more accessible road,” the 25-year-old has said.
At the age of 15 she began playing a cello soloist with the Icelandic Symphony Orchestra.
In Grant Park she not only played that, but harp, piano, and guitar.
She writes and produces and sings her songs like an angel from the not-too-distant space age classy past.
Laufey's star has been ascending ever since even before she won the Grammy six months ago for Best Traditional Pop Album for Bewitched.
The talented musician helped her own popularity grow by doing something other twentysomethings do: play around on TikTok a lot. Because she was funny, beautiful, and relatable, her followers began checking out her music.
And despite being old timey jazz with a modern twist, they loved it and her Spotify numbers began to soar.
She now has millions of streams on Spotify, six million followers on TikTok, sold out performances in most concert halls she plays at, and best of all the kids are using her music on TikTok: her happy place.
At Lollapalooza she made history by being backed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. It was the first time in Lolla history for a symphony to grace the stage, and not only was it classy as can be, but it added a different dimension to her songs.
And it gave tens of thousands of young people one of their first experience with orchestral sound outside of a cineplex.
Laufey has just two studio albums, both of which came out last year through Sony's AWAL.
Bewitched got the most love of the two, including the Jimmy Van Heusen standard, "It Could Happen To You," which appears on the "Goddess" version of the album with bonus tracks.
Near the end of the set, Laufey brought another young star, the UK's Raye, to join her in "It Could Happen to You" and the whole thing was so sweet it could have melted right there on stage.
This will probably not be the last time we hear from Raye either.
Laufey's next stop is a sold out engagement at the Hollywood Bowl tomorrow with the LA Philharmonic.
To show you how much more popular she has gotten in just a year, last summer she and the Phil performed across the Hollywood Freeway at the nearby John Anson Ford Theater (capacity). This year she sold out the 17,500 seat Bowl in no time.
After she hobnobs with the stars in the Hollywood Hills, Laufey jets to Asia for a bunch of gigs through Sept.
